Words of Wisdom


"Go confidently in the direction of your
dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

Henry David Thoreau


"For young children, play is what they do all
day.  Playing is living and living is playing.  
Young children do not differentiate
between play, learning and work.  Children
are by nature playful.  They enjoy playing
and will do so whenever they can."

Mayesky, 2006
